The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup will be the tenth Cricket World Cup and will be hosted by three South Asian Test cricket playing countries: India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. It will be Bangladesh’s first time co-hosting a Cricket World Cup. The World Cup will use cricket’s One Day International format, with fourteen national cricket teams scheduled to compete. The World Cup will take place between February and early April 2011, with the first match to be played on 19 February 2011 with co-hosts India and Bangladesh facing off at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.

The World Cup was also to be co-hosted by Pakistan, but in the wake of the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team in Lahore, the capital of the Pakistani province of Punjab, the International Cricket Council (ICC) were forced to strip Pakistan of its hosting rights. The headquarters of the organising committee were originally situated in Lahore, but have now been shifted to Mumbai. Pakistan was supposed to hold 14 matches, including one semi-final. Eight of Pakistan’s matches have been awarded to India, four to Sri Lanka and two to Bangladesh. Format Late in 2007, the four host nations agreed upon a revised format for the 2011 World Cup, in which 14 teams will participate instead of 16. The first round of the tournament will be a round-robin similar to the one held in South Africa in the 2003 edition in which the 14 teams are divided into 2 groups of 7 teams each. The 7 teams play each other once with the top four from each group qualifying for the quarter-finals. The format ensures that each team gets to play a minimum of six matches even if they are ruled out of the tournament due to early defeats. One semi-final of the tournament was officially handed over to India, after Pakistan were stripped of its rights to host the tournament.

WORLD CUP VENUE Eden Gardens - Kolkata Established in 1864, the world-famous ground is the country’s biggest cricket venue and had initially a seating capacity of 120,000 before renovations reduced it to its current capacity of 90,000. It hosted its first Test in 1934 between India and England, and the first ODI was played here between India and Pakistan in 1987.

Feroz Shah Kotla - Delhi Established in 1883, the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, formerly known as Willingdon Pavilion, is run by Delhi & Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) and is named after Feroz Shah Tughlaq of the Tughlaq dynasty from the 14th century. It held its first official match on November 10, 1948 between India and West Indies. The stadium with a seating capacity of 48,000 has also hosted the 1987 and 1996 ICC Cricket World Cups.

Wankhede Stadium - Mumbai

1974, the stadium is located less than a mile away from Brabourne Stadium. Its seaside proximity assists swing bowlers during the early part of each day. It is currently being rebuilt ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. The first Test in the ground was played in January 1975 between India and West Indies. The venue has played host to ICC Cricket World Cup 1987 and 1996.

Punjab Cricket Association Stadium - Mohali The 30,000-seat venue was established in 1993, and was transformed from a swamp with deep ravines into one of India’s top sporting venues in the space of just two years. The first official match played here was an ODI between India and South Africa in November 1993. It was the venue for the thrilling ICC CWC 1996 semi-final in 1996 when Australia beat the West Indies by five runs.

Vidharba Cricket Association Stadium - Nagpur This stadium, with a seating capacity of 45,000, was established in 2008 and boasts some of the best facilities in the country for players, spectators and media. Built over 35-acres of land, the venue is located 20 kilometres from the city center.

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium - Bangalore

Established in 1969, the venue was originally named as Karnataka State Cricket Association Stadium and eventually renamed after M Chinnaswamy, who was the president of the Indian board from 1977 until 1980. The stadium was given Test status in 1974-75 and hosted West Indies in the opening match, although the stadium was only half-built.That match was also the debut of two West Indian greats, Gordon Greenidge and Viv Richards.

R. Premadasa Stadium - Colombo Established in 1986, the venue, named after former Sri Lanka president Ranasinghe Premadasa, was earlier named Khettarama Stadium. It is the biggest stadium in the country and was built on swampland previously used by monks ferrying across to the Khettarama temple adjacent to the stadium.

Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium - Chittagong The venue is also known as Chittagong Divsional Stadium and previously known as Bir Shrestha Shahid Ruhul Amin Stadium. Situated about half-an-hour outside the city centre, the stadium was one of the five purpose-built cricket grounds established in the run-up to the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2004.

Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium - Dhaka

Cricket world cup 2011.indd 10

Established in 2006, the venue was named after AK Fazlul Haque - the country’s renowned leader and has a seating capacity of 25,000. The stadium will host the opening ceremony of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. The first official match played here was the ODI between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in December 2008 and the ground was granted as Test venue status in 2007.

stopped him from taking part in 2003 and injuries also threatened his 2007 campaign. However, he overcame a mid-tournament calf problem to pile up 145 runs at a strike-rate of 170, and was only dismissed once. His run-out of AB de Villiers - a direct hit from the boundary - in the group stage is still talked about. Strengths: A powerful hitter who does most damage with his drives and pulls. With the ball, his reverse-swing and sharp pace are a threat at a time in the innings when the opposition is looking to attack.

Brett Lee

wicket-taker in the 2003 tournament, ﬁnishing behind Chaminda Vaas after collecting 22 at 17.90. During that tournament he was as much responsible for the overall success as Glenn McGrath and Andy Bichel. An injury picked up in New Zealand in the lead-up to the 2007 event forced him to have surgery instead of heading to the Caribbean. Strengths: He excels in the two key areas of speed and experience, having frightened batsmen through almost 200 ODIs. Only Muttiah Muralitharan and Waqar Younis have more ﬁve-wicket hauls than Lee’s nine.

The Australian cricket team is the national menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cricket team of Australia. It is the joint oldest team in Test cricket, having played in the first Test match in 1877 (defeating England by 45 runs. As of 20 January 2010, the Australian team has played 718 Test matches, winning 51.87%, losing 20.87% and drawing 26.98% of its games.It has a winning record against every other Test nation. The Australian national cricket team has also led the ICC Test Championship table for the majority of the time since the creation of the ICC Test table system in January 2001. The South Africans did lead this table for a brief period from January to May 2003[citation needed], before Australia resumed the first position on the table. Australia has since dropped down to fifth in the Test rankings (as of 24 November 2010). Australia have made six World Cup final appearances and have won the World Cup four

times in total; 1987 Cricket World Cup, 1999 Cricket World Cup, 2003 Cricket World Cup & 2007 Cricket World Cup. Australia have also won the ICC Champions Trophy twice in 2006 and in 2009 making them the first and the only team to become back to back winners in the Champions Trophy tournaments. Australia also have been the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup champions in 1988, 2002 and 2010. Australia were runners-up in the ICC World Twenty20 in 2010 (which was won by England).

As of 28 April 2007 they are undefeated in 29 consecutive World Cup matches. They have led the ICC One-Day International Championship table from its inception through to 18 February 2007[citation needed], and then again from 7 April 2007 until 30 January 2009. [citation needed] In 2002, they were named World Team of the Year at the Laureus World Sports Awards in recognition of their world record sequence of Test match victories.

The Canada cricket team is the national cricket team representing Canada in men’s international competition. It is run by Cricket Canada. While Canada is not sanctioned to play Test matches, the team does take part in One Day International matches and also in first-class games (in the ICC Intercontinental Cup) against other non-Test-playing opposition, with the rivalry against the United States cricket team being as strong in cricket as it is in other team sports. The match between these two nations is in fact the oldest international fixture in cricket, having first been played in 1844. Canadian cricket has tended to take a lower profile than most other sports, and the team tends to be composed of expatriates from more successful cricketing nations either trying to achieve a level of international experience or having been deemed too old for their respective national teams. The 2003 World Cup squad, for example, contained players born in Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan

and the West Indies. Perhaps the most successful exponent of Canadian cricket has been all-rounder John Davison. Davison was born in Canada but played club and — occasionally — first class cricket in Australia, achieving a reputation as something of a journeyman. Taking advantage of his Canadian birth, he became a regular in the national squad. At the 2003 World Cup, Davison hit the fastest century in tournament history against the West Indies in what was ultimately a losing cause. One year later, in the ICC Intercontinental Cup against the USA, he proved the difference between the two

Above all, he just has something in him that often takes a whole team, a whole game along with him. Forget the debate over whether Shahid Afridi will or should be captain of the ODI side; he remains the side’s most talismanic player, capable of changing any game in a trice. Over the years, it is Afridi’s leg-spin that has held him in better stead, providing not only a vital choke during the middle overs, but a serious wicket-taking threat.

Shoaib Akhtar Lasith Malinga

Shoaib at his very best; lean, athletic, super-fast and pumped up there was no better sight through the tournament. He was instrumental in taking Pakistan to the ﬁnal with 16 wickets. He picked up wickets in 2003, but the magic had long gone by then and he missed the 2007 tournament with what was ostensibly a knee injury, but widely thought to be a fallout of the doping scandal in the months before that tournament. Strengths: Pace, new ball outswing, old ball reverse and a killer slower one; a ﬁt and on song Shoaib has always been a rounded fast bowler.

The Pakistan National Cricket Team is an International cricket team representing Pakistan. It is administrated by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Pakistan is a member of the International Cricket Council and has professional teams representing in Test cricket, One Day International and Twenty20 matches. Pakistan are the ICC Cricket World Cup 1992 champions, ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup champions twice in 2004 and in 2006 making them the first and the only team to become back to back champions in the U-19 Cricket World Cup tournaments and they are also the ICC World Twenty20 2009 champions. Pakistan have been semi finalist 3 times in the ICC Champions Trophy in 2000, 2004 and 2009. After gaining independence from the British Empire in 1947, Pakistan cricket was played before the first Pakistan national team was granted test match playing status. Documentation and archives show that during the 18th century, cricket was played on the western part of

India and many successful Indian cricketers played for the English cricket team. It was not until 28 July 1952 that Pakistan started playing test match cricket. Their first match took place in Delhi against India on October of the same year. Their first international tour was to England during 1954. Over the half century, Pakistan has become one of the most challenging and unpredictable teams in the world, the team won the 1992 Cricket World Cup and were runners up in the 1999 Cricket World Cup. The country

has produced several world-class players such as Fazal Mahmood, Hanif Mohammad, Sarfaraz Nawaz, Mushtaq Mohammad, Imran Khan, Javed Miandad, Abdul Qadir, Wasim Akram, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Saeed Anwar, Waqar Younis, Mohammad Yousuf and Younis Khan. As of October 2007, the Pakistani team has played 332 Test matches, winning 30.29%, losing 26.76% and drawing 42.94% of its games.

They currently have One Day International status until 2013. Kenya Cricket has aquired an international reputation, after achieving some remarkable successes. The Kenyan national cricket team upsets many countries, even though Kenyan cricket has faced several crises recently. Kenyan international cricket took off in 1951 with the matches against Uganda and Tanzania (then Tanganyika). Later, these 3 countries joined to form the East Africa cricket team. Kenya was always considered the strongest among them and in 1981 it broke off and joined the ICC as an associate member in it’s own right.

The Sri Lankan cricket team is the national cricket team of Sri Lanka. The team first played international cricket in 1926–27, and were later awarded Test status in 1981, which made Sri Lanka the eighth Test cricket playing nation. The team is administered by Sri Lanka Cricket. Sri Lankan national cricket team transformed themselves from underdog status to a major cricketing nation during the 1990s. The team went on to win the 1996 Cricket World Cup, beating Australia in the finals, and becoming World Champions. Since then, the team has continued to be a major force in international cricket. Sri Lankan cricket team reached the finals of the 2007 Cricket World Cup but lost to Australia in a rain-affected final match. The batting of Sanath Jayasuriya and Aravinda de Silva (retired), backed up by the bowling of Muttiah Muralitharan and Chaminda Vaas (retired), among many other talented cricketers, has underpinned the successes of Sri Lankan cricket

during the last 15 years. Sri Lanka have won the Cricket World Cup in 1996, the ICC Champions Trophy in 2002 (Co-champions with India), have been runners up in the 2007 Cricket World Cup, and have been runners up in the ICC World Twenty20 in 2009.

He took no part in the 2007 edition, having become embroiled in a row with a dysfunctional board in mid-2005 that led to his resignation of the captaincy and temporary retirement from international cricket.

Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) (formerly known as Zimbabwe Cricket Union (ZCU)) is the governing body for the sport of cricket in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe Cricket is a full member of the International Cricket Council, and operates the Zimbabwean cricket team, organising Test tours and One Day Internationals with other nations. It also organises domestic cricket such as Metropolitan Bank Twenty20 in Zimbabwe. It is one of the most developing cricket-playing nations. It is ranked at No. 10 in the ICC Cricket rankings. Zimbabwe Cricket has remained one of the most controversial boards in cricketing history. [citation needed] Especially during the early 2000s when the majority of the team quit because of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the death of democracy in Zimbabwe caused by Robert Mugabe This meant a much more inexperienced side was used which resulted in Zimbabwe being stripped of their Test status. However by the late 2000s especially after 2009 when Zimbabwe beat Australia in the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 group stages resulted in the ICC re-considering its decision. In a meeting it was decided that after the 2011 Cricket World Cup Zimbabwe would return to playing Test cricket.As part of the plans

to help to rehabilitate the team into the test arena Zimbabwe cricket announced major upgrades to the Harare Sports Club and the Multare Sports Club. Also ZC signed a three-year deal with Reebok worth $1mn. The deal will see Reebok sponsor the Domestic competitions and make the kits of the Zimbabwean national cricket team

The Bangladesh national cricket team, also known as “The Tigers”, is a national cricket team representing Bangladesh. The team is administered by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Bangladesh is a full member of the International Cricket Council with Test and One Day International status. It played its first Test match in 2000 against India in Dhaka, becoming the tenth Test cricket playing nation. Bangladesh’s first official foray into international cricket came in the 1979 ICC Trophy in England, leaving the tournament with 2 wins and 2 defeats. Seven years later, on 31 March 1986, Bangladesh played in its first One Day International match against Pakistan in the 1986 Asia Cup. Cricket has gradually become very popular in urban areas of the country. Although football was the most popular game for a long time, cricket gained momentum and soon surpassed football. Especially after Bangladesh won the ICC Trophy in Malaysia in 1997. By winning the ICC trophy, the Tigers had qualified for

Recently however, under the guidance of coach Jamie Siddons Bangladesh has been improving their test match performances. In the one day form of the game Bangladesh has performed a lot better. They have managed to defeat all the Test playing nations at least once. The performance of the Tigers in 2010 has also shown a gradual improvement as a Test match and ODI side.

Anderson was the toast of Cape Town after swinging England to victory over Pakistan, but eight days later, he was cracked for a massive six over midwicket by Andy Bichel, as Australia recovered from 135 for 8 to win a remarkable contest at Port Elizabeth.Strengths: One of a handful of bowlers who can swing the ball both ways at will, Anderson’s outswinging yorker is an especially devastating delivery.

Since 1 January 1997 it has been governed by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), having been previously governed by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) from 1903 until the end of 1996. England and Australia were the first teams to be granted Test status on 15 March 1877 and they gained full membership to the International Cricket Council (ICC) on 15 June 1909. England and Australia also took part in the first One Day International (ODI) on 5 January 1971. England are the current holders of the Ashes, which is the Test match series contest between England and Australia and which has been played since the 1882–83 Australian season. As of 7 December 2010, England has won 319 of the 905 Test matches played (drawing in 325), and is ranked fourth in the ICC Test Championship. England’s One Day International record includes finishing as

runners-up in 3 Cricket World Cups (1979, 1987 and 1992), and again as runners up in the ICC Champions Trophy in 2004.

Until the 2007 edition, which was a disaster for him and the whole Indian side, he averaged more than 42 in all four editions. Strengths: Makes scoring runs at around a runa-ball and higher risk-free. Takes calculated risks, and innovation and tradition exist seamlessly. Brings experience worth 21 years of international cricket.

Indian cricket team is the national cricket team of India. Governed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), it is a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) with Test and One Day International (ODI) status. The Indian cricket team is currently ranked first (as of 15 October 2010) by the ICC in Tests and second (as of 15 October 2010) in ODIs. As of October 2010, the Indian team has played 445 Test matches, winning 108, losing 138 and drawing 198 of its games, with 1 match ending in a tie. Although cricket was introduced to India by European merchant sailors in the 18th-century and the first cricket club in India was established in Calcutta in 1792, India’s national cricket team didn’t play their first Test match until 25 June 1932 at Lord’s. They became the sixth team to be granted Test cricket status. In their first fifty years of international cricket, India proved weaker than Australia and England, winning only 35 of the 196 test matches.

up in 2003 under Sourav Ganguly. India have also been the Runners in 2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy, and the Joint Champions along with Sri Lanka in 2002 ICC Champions Trophy led by Sourav Ganguly in both the instances. India also won the inaugural World Twenty20 under Mahendra Singh Dhoni in 2007. The current team contains many of the world’s leading players, including Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag, and Zaheer Khan who hold numerous cricketing world records

The team, however, gained strength near the end of the 1970s with the emergence of players such as Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Mohammed Azharuddin and the Indian spin quartet - Erapalli Prasanna and Srinivas Venkataraghavan (both off spinners), Bhagwat Chandrasekhar (a leg spinner), and Bishen Singh Bedi (a left-arm spinner). Traditionally much stronger at home than abroad, the Indian team has improved its overseas form since the start of the 21st century. It won the Cricket World Cup in 1983 and was runners-

He made a 50-ball 72 against a New Zealand attack containing Tim Southee in the warm-ups to the 2008 event, and followed that up with 114 against the United States of America and a 50-ball 65 in a seven-wicket thrashing of Zimbabwe in 2010. Strengths: Stirling’s priceless ability to attack the new ball - often in devastating fashion - will be vital to Ireland’s setting of defendable totals.

The Ireland cricket team is the cricket team representing all of Ireland. Because of political difficulties, the Irish Cricket Union (ICU) was not elected to the International Cricket Council (ICC) until 1993, and qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 2007. The Irish Cricket Union is the governing body of Irish cricket. The Irish cricket team is an amateur one, with players forced to take time away from their full-time jobs to represent their country in cricket. Efforts have been made to professionalise the team although funding has been a difficulty. Despite the challenging financial environment, Cricket Ireland[3] has announced 13.01.2010 additional sponsorship funding to increase from two to six the number of full time professional players with partial funding for a further four county players.[4] The first match played by an Irish team was in 1855. Since then, Ireland have gained a reputation for giant-killing. Ireland played their first One Day International (ODI) in

Cricket world cup 2011.indd 61

below those that play Test cricket. Due to their recent successes in the Intercontinental Cup and at the World Cup, they have been labelled the “leading Associate”.[7] Ireland is currently one of the team’s in Division 1 of Associate Members of International Cricket Council who has One Day International and T20 International status. After the tremendous success at International stage , Cricket Ireland has applied for Full Membership from the International Cricket Council. Ireland have recently won the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier 2008 and 2009 ICC World Cup Qualifier and qualified for 2009 World Twenty20 and 2011 Cricket World Cup. Being a full member will allow Ireland to be a permanent One Day International and eventually granting them Test status.[8] On 20 June 2010, Ireland were included on an International Cricket Council list of countries that would provisionally occupy the second-tier of any future two-tier Test structure.

2006 against England. Since then, they have gone on to play 39 ODIs, resulting in 16 victories, 19 defeats, 3 no results, and 1 tie.[5] Ireland’s greatest cricketing success to date was in the 2007 Cricket World Cup, where they achieved a tie against Zimbabwe and victories over Pakistan and Bangladesh, and ended the tournament ranked 10th overall in the official ICC rankings above Zimbabwe and Kenya.[6] Ireland take part in the ICC Trophy, the European Cricket Championship (which they have won three times and hold the title of European champions), and the ICC Intercontinental Cup, which they have won consecutively three times since 2005 and are the current holders. The team also competes in the Friends Provident Trophy against English counties. Ireland is an Associate member of the ICC; Associates are the next level of team

Over the last couple of years, though, he has proved he has the substance to match the style, with an ODI strike rate in the 90s, an average of almost 60. Strengths: A reﬁned array of shots allow him to score boundaries all around the ground, without being a bludgeoner. A good player of spin, Amla’s array of wristy shots will come in handy on the subcontinent. His serenity at the crease stands him in good stead for pressure situations.

The engine of South Africa’s attack, Dale Steyn is quick - regularly clocking between 145km/hr and 150km/hr - aggressive, prides himself on precision and has the ability to swing the ball both ways in all conditions. These attributes make him the premier strike bowler in the side even though he has yet to earn his 50th ODI cap. Steyn is no bunny with that bat and can bludgeon the ball or hang around at the crease if needed. Strengths: Devastating accuracy coupled with the ability to swing the ball both ways. His opening partnership with Morne Morkel is thought to be one of the most dangerous in world cricket.

The South Africa national cricket team, also known as The Proteas (formerly known as The Springboks) are a national cricket team representing South Africa. They are administrated by Cricket South Africa. South Africa is a full member of the International Cricket Council with Test and One Day International status. Through the mid-nineties to the present, the Proteas have been labeled as the archetypal chokers in international cricket, especially due to their not winning a Cricket world cup even after being one of the top favorites and their general inability to win the big matches on the big occasions. As of 3 October 2009, the South African team has

played 344 Test matches, winning 120 (34.88%), losing 121 (35.17%) and drawing 103(29.94%) of its games. As of 3 October 2009, the South African team has played 426 ODI Matches, winning 264 (61.97%), losing 145 (34.04%), drawing 5 (1.17%) and getting a “No Result” in 12 (2.82%) of its games

Bradley Kruger Lasith Malinga

22-year-old Bradley Kruger is a bright fast-bowling prospect in the Netherlands’ ranks. His promise has already earned him a place on Northamptonshire’s books and he is part of the academy set-up in Leeds/Bradford MCCU. That said, he still has some way to develop before becoming a regular threat. His experience for Netherlands in the CB40 last summer proved tough and he was dealt a severe lesson by Ireland’s batsman, as his seven wicketless overs cost 43. Strengths: Strongly built and a fairly capable batsman, it’s no surprise he looks up to Andrew Flintoff. He might have some way to go but his academy team-mates have already christened him ‘Freddie’.

The Dutch cricket team is a national cricket team representing the Netherlands. It is administered by the Koninklijke Nederlandse Cricket Bond (Royal Dutch Cricket Association) which is based in Nieuwegein in the centre of the country and is older than many renowned cricket clubs in the West Indies, Australia, and New Zealand. Cricket has been played in the Netherlands since at least the 19th century, and in the 1860s was considered a major sport in the country. Many other sports (notably football) have long since surpassed cricket in popularity amongst the Dutch, and today there are around 6,000 cricketers in the Netherlands, making it the 25th most popular sport. The first national association, the forerunner of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Royal Dutch Cricket Association, was formed in 1883 and the Netherlands achieved Associate Membership of the ICC in 1966. The Dutch team has taken part in all eight ICC Trophy tournaments, winning the

competition in Canada in 2001 and finishing as runners-up twice (in 1986 and 1990). The Netherlands have also participated in the 1996, 2003 and 2007 Cricket World Cups, and from 1996 onwards entered the English domestic NatWest Trophy competition (and its successor, the C&G Trophy). In 2004 they played first-class cricket as part of the ICC Intercontinental Cup, drawing with Scotland in Aberdeen and then going down to an innings defeat against Ireland in Deventer. In 2005 the Dutch team beat the UAE to finish fifth in the ICC Trophy, a slightly disappointing result but one which meant that they qualified for the 2007 World Cup and would gain full One Day International status from 1 January 2006 until the 2009 ICC Trophy

match in the 2007 World Cup, against South Africa in the Super Eights.He didn’t have a memorable game, conceding 20 off three overs and scoring 10 off 17 balls. Strengths: Ability to strike length deliveries over long-on and be an impact player down the order. Kieron Pollard is a violent destroyer of attacks in the Twenty20s that he plays for his various clubs, but he has rarely been able to step up his game while playing for West Indies. Like most hitters, his game is simple: he likes to loft as straight as possible and has a mean pull shot. Often, for West Indies, he has batted way down the order and has not been able to produce his best.

is his, ﬁrst. Any bowler who can regularly send down six consecutive 150kph rockets has to be respected, whatever be the format of the match. His pace makes him a genuine wicket-taker and a matchwinner in ODIs. Roach declared himself on international circuit with a 146 kph bouncer that crashed into Ricky Ponting’s left elbow. Strengths: The skill to bowl at real pace and the ability to extract bounce from a length. Unlike a few other fast bowlers who can tend to bowl too short, he likes to hit the full length when in rhythm and has a good yorker.

The West Indian cricket team, also known colloquially as the West Indies or the Windies, is a multi-national cricket team representing a sporting confederation of 15 mainly English-speaking Caribbean countries, British dependencies and non-British dependencies. From the mid 1970s to the early 1990s, the West Indies team was one of the strongest in the world in both Test and One Day International cricket. A number of cricketers considered among the best in the world have hailed from the West Indies; Sir Garfield Sobers, Lance Gibbs, Gordon Greenidge, George Headley, Clive Lloyd, Malcolm Marshall, Andy Roberts and Everton Weekes have all been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, while world-record holders Brian Lara and Sir Viv Richards were both West Indies Test players.[2][3] As of 19 June 2009, the West Indian team has played 457 Test matches, winning 33.26%, losing 32.38% and drawing 34.13% of its games. The West Indies have

won the ICC Cricket World Cup twice in 1975 and 1979, the ICC Champions Trophy once in 2004 and have been runners up in the Under 19 Cricket World Cup in 2004 and have been semi finalist in the ICC World Twenty20 in 2009.
